Live in harmony with the sun

Here are a few quick tips on living harmony with the sun:

  • avoid exposure between noon and 4pm
  • reapply sunscreen frequently, especially after swimming, sports or during prolonged period of exposure.
  • beware of reflected sun rays. You can get burned even when wearing a hat or staying under an umbrella.
  • avoid using photosensitizing products (deodorants, perfume and cosmetics containing lemon, bergamot or lavender extract)
  • remember that at an altitude of 1500 meters, the skin is exposed to 20% more UVBs than at sea level.
  • Sunburn is dangerous, particularly for children.
